First hatching

[Mhays]

His are all wild pattern, I believe yours is range, can you show a pic of his head and back from above?
Tho they are similar color now, yours will likely be darker as an adult. I suspect yours will look Rosetta colored, but may end up with some wild pattern marks down his back. The dark areas of the legs tell me there’s Tibetan/Rosetta in there.

So, we have a Rosetta (is there a name for a slightly lighter than Rosetta bird?) rooster and an Italian rooster, who we prioritized for this hatch. Hens are Pharoh, Rosetta, (slightly darker than the roo) and a tuxedo like your darker tuxedo there - tuxedo/Rosetta or maybe Tibetan? They are all about a shade apart.

if you say so they look the same to me. as long as they lay and aren’t crazy like the one I just had to kill.

LOL, well, crazy or not I never had a problem with laying (usually it's roosters that have annoying behavior...)

ya this bird i think was raised apart from all others birds and he had them in pairs so the male breed it till it went crazy and would not allow any other birds near it. but he also told me the birds were a certain age and they were younger then he said so they were not laying. and i have issue with raccoons trying to get to them.

Here’s another thread on roux or Egyptian.

If all of your birds are pharaoh colored, that means your roo is recessive for it I believe, and that chick would have to be a hen. However, idk how roux interacts with colors other than pharaoh, like Rosetta, Tibetan, silver, German pastel etc. depending on what you have in your flock, and what is dominant or recessive to roux (other than pharaoh I don’t know how it interacts with other colors in this regard) it could be male or female.

Still only been a couple of weeks but my birds seem to have fully feathered out and I might be wrong but they all seem to be hens is that normal? Thought there would be more males. Thinking I’ll be moving them outside sooner then I had planed because the birds are flying out of the brooder. And they stink! And it’s warm around here it’s like 60 at night and 90s during the day.

Sometimes males will start with spots on their chests. If you post pics of them we might be able to help or confirm your suspicions.
